Does anyone know what it means when your belly goes really tight all of a sudden? Not due to how big it is but for whatever reason :S I just felt my stomach go rock solid, mainly where i think the babys lying. I dont know if this has happened to anyone else, slightly worried about it! All answers r appreciated! x x x

It sounds like a 'Braxton Hicks' contraction to me and nothing to
worry about. If the tightening become painful and continue seek advice from
your midwife.

hiya i get these alot it could just be braxton hicks where your body is gettin ready for birth. as long as these tightenings ar not painful then its nothing to worry about its only when they get regular and 3 - 4 mins apart that you should seek medical help, trust me you will know when its the real thing!
i went into prem labour at 30 weeks with contractions so i kinda know what to expect now, the hospital managed to stop my labour with a course of pills, which i was very lucky and lola has 5 weeks left so she has listened to me telling her to stay in there that lil while longer lol.
ive been getting these braxton hicks since i was 22 weeks, braxton hicks are irregular and i found if i swayed it helped relieve them, but with the real contractions i got really flushed and they were coming on thick n fast getting stronger and regular.i hope this has helped hun. how far gone are you now? x :)
